"In recent weeks, Israel has been carrying out a systematic campaign to level what remains of Gaza City, targeting residential towers and schools, and forcing a mass evacuation of the area. The United Nations's special envoy said on Monday that the offensive is part of a broader campaign of ethnic cleansing. Trump's warning on Monday comes less than a week after Israel killed five Hamas members and a Qatari security official while trying to assassinate senior Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital, Doha."
"Trump's warning on Monday comes less than a week after Israel killed five Hamas members and a Qatari security official while trying to assassinate senior Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital, Doha. Those targeted were involved in negotiating a ceasefire and captives' proposal put forward by the US president himself. Hamas said its top officials survived the strikes, which Trump said he opposed. On Monday, Trump repeated his assertion that Israel would not be striking Qatar again."
President Donald Trump warned Hamas that moving Israeli captives above ground as human shields would trigger severe consequences and demanded immediate release of all hostages. He said he had read reports that captives might be used amid relentless Israeli bombardment. Trump has posted repeated threats against Hamas while many of its leaders have been killed and Israel has destroyed much of Gaza. Israeli strikes have targeted residential towers and schools and forced mass evacuations in Gaza City. The United Nations's special envoy called the offensive part of a broader campaign of ethnic cleansing. Israel killed five Hamas members and a Qatari security official in an attack in Doha; those targeted were negotiating a US-proposed ceasefire and captives plan, and Hamas said top officials survived. Trump said he opposed the Doha strikes and denied advance knowledge.
